Games with Gold for August: Crackdown, Dead Rising 2 & DR2: Case Zero

News | August 1, 2013 8:06 am



Unattributed Quote:


The next set of free games for Xbox Live Members in August will be Crackdown, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero.

Starting tomorrow (August 1st) the award winning Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown (Normally 800 points) will be free for Xbox LIVE Gold members through August 15th .

Then on August 16th, Xbox Live Gold Members can grab BOTH Dead Rising 2 (Normally US $14.99) and Dead Rising 2: Case Zero (Normally 400 points) for free.

As a reminder, the “Games With Gold” program gives Xbox LIVE Gold Members 2 free games to keep each month. A new title will be available the 1st and 16th of each month.



I've played Crackdown, so I'll probably take advantage that it's free and download it. I've never played any of the Dead Risings; but the trailer for DR2: Zero looks pretty fun.

I already have a game save on Crackdown I never bothered finishing before I got rid of it. Welp. Time to continue where I left off.

Yeah I played it for a hour and got a refund. Needless to say I did not repeat my mistake for Crackdown II.

I have never had any intention of playing Crackdown, but since it's free I will give it a shot.

Dead Rising 2 is another game I never had any intention of buying. Since I don't have to buy it, I guess I will give it a chance, too.

Case Zero I have a bone to pick with that game - I PAID 400 M$P ALREADY AND NOW IT'S FREE!!?!

Unless you are in Germany. Then you are going to get Shadowrun, which anyone here can get for $3.00. Later in the month you will be treated to Lost Planet 2. Yeah, the Germans got screwed.

I don't have Crackdown, and I don't really want it. I have Dead Rising 2 and Case Zero already.

I sold my copy of Crackdown not too long ago and didn't realize I never finished the game. Glad to get that back even though you can get it at Gamestop for like $2. Never got to play Dead Rising 2, so that's good too. I swear they did say that the first two games were suppose to be Assassin's Creed 2 (which they actually did) and Halo 3. But then again with Microsoft's awesome flip-flop policy I should have known better.
